Red Sox Make A Move For Luis Urias

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Luis Urias is headed to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for right-handed pitcher Bradley Blalock. The 26-year-old infielder has been dreadful at the plate this season, but the Red Sox want to see if they can tap into his potential. Urias is slashing .145/.299/.236 with one home run and five RBI […]

Josh Bell Headed To Marlins

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Josh Bell is on the move to the Miami Marlins. The switch-hitting cover infielder will head over to Miami in exchange for infielders Jean Segura and Kahlil Watson. The Guardians recently acquired top prospect Kyle Manzardo in a deal with the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday. That being said, they wanted […]

Orioles Acquire Jack Flaherty

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty has been traded to the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday. The O's needed to make a move to improve their rotation and getting Flaherty should help them. He has registered a 4.43 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, with a 106/54 K/BB ratio across 20 starts this season. In exchange, the Cardinals […]

Josh Naylor Scratched On Tuesday

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor (side) has been scratched ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Astros. The left-handed slugger has been pulled from the lineup due to right-side tightness. The hope is that it's only a minor issue and isn't a something like an oblique injury. For the moment, fantasy managers should consider […]

Tommy Pham Traded To Diamondbacks

New York Mets outfielder Tommy Pham was expected to be moved all week long and will now be a last-second deadline move. The 35-year-old is headed to the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for 17-year-old shortstop Jeremy Rodriguez. This was probably the best deal the Mets were going to get on the impending free agent. Pham […]

Amir Coffey Arrested On Gun Possession

Los Angeles Clippers forward Amir Coffey was arrested on misdemeanor possession of a firearm in a car where he was a passenger over the weekend. The car was pulled over for speeding, but the police smelled marijuana as they approached the vehicle and searched it. They found a gun that Coffey admitted was his and […]

Raptors Sign Garrett Temple

Free-agent forward Garrett Temple has agreed to a one-year, $3.2 million deal with the Toronto Raptors. The 37-year-old was recently waived by the New Orleans Pelicans after spending each of the last two seasons with them. The veteran forward has been bounced around the league throughout his career. He doesn't exactly offer much fantasy value […]

Jose Urquidy Roughed Up During Rehab Start

Houston Astros starting pitcher Jose Urquidy (shoulder) made his fourth and hopefully his final rehab start with Double-A Corpus Christi on Sunday. The right-hander was hit around for five runs over four innings of work. The good news is, Urquidy increased his pitch count to 76 and is expected to rejoin the Astros rotation later […]

A.J. Minter Activated From Injured List

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher A.J. Minter (shoulder) has been activated from the 15-day injured list on Monday.

He appears healthy now and ready to rejoin the bullpen ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Before going down, Minter […]

Alex Verdugo Available For Trade

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo is reportedly on the trade block ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. It seems like the Red Sox are trying to take advantage of the fact there aren't many quality bats available at the trade deadline. The 27-year-old still has one more season left on his deal before he's a […]

Nestor Cortes Jr. To Make Another Rehab Start

New York Yankees starting pitcher Nestor Cortes Jr. (shoulder) is set to make another minor league rehab start on Monday. The left-hander looked sharp during his second rehab start on Friday. It appears the team wants to give Cortes one more start before bringing him back to the big league rotation. The 28-year-old only threw […]

AJ Smith-Shawver Optioned To Minors

Atlanta Braves pitcher AJ Smith-Shawver has been optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday. Left-hander reliever A.J. Minter has been activated from the injured list, so Smith-Shawver was the odd man out. Honestly, there isn't a spot for Smith-Shawver in the starting rotation with Max Fried likely returning soon. The 20-year-old allowed three runs over five […]

D'Andre Swift Used Primarily In Passing Game

Philadelphia Eagles running back D'Andre Swift has reportedly been lining up all over the field early in camp. ESPN's Tim McManus has confirmed that Swift is primarily being used in the passing game right now. That's interesting as Rashaad Penny as been getting the early downs in the running game, while Swift focuses in the […]

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (back) is dealing with an injury that he suffered while working out on his own in Arizona. The 24-year-old is currently on the PUP list while he works his way back from ankle surgery. The Colts are considering placing Taylor on the non-football injury list. This news comes a […]

Zach Charbonnet Out Indefinitely

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (shoulder) is expected to miss significant time after suffering an injury during practice. The team announced that Charbonnet is out indefinitely after suffering a shoulder injury. That's a shame as the second-round pick was expected to have a legitimate role to begin the season. The Seahawks are also without […]

Kenneth Walker III Dealing With Groin Injury

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (groin) was sidelined during Sunday's practice due to injury. Head coach Pete Carroll said that Walker could be sidelined for a decent amount of time. It sounds like the Seahawks are taking the cautious approach and holding out Walker, so the injury can heal. It might not be […]

Nolan Jones Pulled Out Early On Sunday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Nolan Jones was pulled out early during Sunday's game against the Oakland Athletics. There was some concern that the 25-year-old suffered an injury, but that might not have been the case. It sounds like his exit was precautionary due to cramping. The expectation is he'll be fine going forward, so fantasy managers […]

Mike Yastrzemski Exits Early On Sunday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Boston Red Sox. This is a bit concerning considering this is the third time that Yastrzemski has battled a hamstring issue this season. At the moment, it's uncertain how serious this injury is as the Giants likely pulled […]

J.D. Martinez To Undergo MRI

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder J.D. Martinez (hamstring) is scheduled to undergo an MRI after suffering an injury during Sunday's game. The veteran slugger was forced to exit early on Sunday due to left hamstring tightness. Manager Dave Robert said that Martinez was unable to run or swing a bat on Sunday. It sounds like he's […]

Tucupita Marcano Likely To Undergo Surgery

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Tucupita Marcano (knee) was forced to exit early during Monday's game due to a right knee injury. He underwent further testing and the outcome is not favorable for the 23-year-old infielder. Marcano has suffered a significant right knee injury that is likely going to result in surgery. It sounds like there is […]

Clayton Kershaw To Throw Another Simulated Game On Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) is scheduled to throw another simulated game on Thursday. The left-hander threw on Saturday and there was some hope he'd return following that outing. That won't be the case as Kershaw is going to need a little more time to recover. The 35-year-old has been sidelined since […]

Braves Acquire Nicky Lopez

Kansas City Royals infielder Nicky Lopez has been traded to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for left-hander Taylor Hearn. This move makes sense considering the Royals have younger infielders that they want to give a chance on their rebuilding roster. Lopez is a skill defender, but has struggled with the bat this season. He's slashing […]

Chris Flexen To Start On Saturday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Chris Flexen has been recalled to take the mound against the Oakland Athletics on Saturday. The right-hander looked strong during his two starts in Triple-A Albuquerque. He signed with the Rockies a few weeks ago after being released by the Seattle Mariners. Flexen struggled during his four starts with Seattle, but […]

Chase Silseth Removed From Starting Rotation

Los Angeles Angels pitcher Chase Silseth has been removed from the team's starting rotation. The Halos have decided to shake up their starting rotation with the addition of Lucas Giolito.

Charlie Blackmon Takes Batting Practice On Saturday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon (hand) was able to take batting practice prior to Saturday's contest. It's the first time that Blackmon has swung a bat since fracturing his right hand in early June. He'll still need to build up his activities some more before he's ready for a minor league rehab assignment. It sounds […]

Evan Longoria Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Evan Longoria (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The 37-year-old is dealing with a lower back strain, so he'll get some time off to rest. The assumption is that Longoria is only going to require a minimal stint on the injured list. In a corresponding move, […]

Mets, Rangers Agree To Max Scherzer Trade

New York Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer will waive his no-trade clause to go to the Texas Rangers. The two sides are reportedly finalizing a deal that would send the All-Star pitcher to Arlington. It sounds like they've agreed on the exchange of players, but are still working on the financial side of the deal. […]

Mookie Betts Scratched From Saturday's Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (ankle) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. It appears the 30-year-old is dealing with right ankle soreness. This sounds like a minor injury and the Dodgers are just holding him out as a precaution. In his absence, Jason Heyward will […]

Nick Madrigal Activated From 10-Day Injured List

Chicago Cubs infielder Nick Madrigal (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The 26-year-old has been sidelined since early June due to a right hamstring strain. He missed time during his minor league rehab assignment as well due to a back issue. Madrigal will […]

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward had to be carted off the field during Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The 29-year-old was hit in the face by a pitch from Jays' pitcher Alek Manoah. Ward was able to stand and was applying pressure to both his nose and face. The assumption is that […]
